27K rating. Bottle thanks to Mike. Pours a cloudy gold with no head. The aroma is grape must, funk, wood, lemon zest, honey. Slick body, nice funk, oak, lemon, honey, light acidity, held up incredibly.

750mL bottle drunk 10/8/16.
Another one in fine condition, but it was stored properly which I can’t emphasize the importance of enough. Great carbonation and off-white head. Clear, sparkling bronze liquid.
The nose reminds of the vin jaune that came before it but contains more rich honey as well as more grape fermentation notes (pepper, varied spice). I won’t pretend to be able to smell the botrytis at work here but the beer is marvelously complex and interesting. Honey, peach, yellow cherries and mild acetic acids provide a pleasant, tart fruitiness. No alcohol in the nose, though of course some stronger esters. Not a barnyard bonanza but still contains plentiful, subtle funkiness, with light cheese rind, mousey cellar notes and very light hay.
Kumquat again, as seen with vie est belge. Tart, juicy, yellow fruits really mix wonderfully with lambics, the slightly more playful, tart, juiciness underscoring the stronger, deeper bacterial acidity. This one is certainly stronger, though not necessarily even sweeter than others and yet there’s no booze. Sour, though it’s tapered off over the years, I assume. The lactic acid manifests as light citrus rind and the texture is richly soft with tight carbonation. Delicate for its size and very cool that it’s so drinkable.

Bottle at Akkurat. Looks like apple juice with almost no head. Aroma of apples, earthy leafs, tart barnyard and grapes. Somewhat of a wine/beer crossover with very well hidden alcohol. Some taste resembling the cognac barrel with barnyard, stable, hay, overripe grapes. Not very acidic, but very dry.

[4/25/15] Bottle sample at a tasting at omhper’s place in Tyresö. Thanks omhper, AndySnow and hackobock for sharing great beers! 2005 bottle. Clear golden. Very interesting aroma of wine, grapes, funk, cognac, cobwebs and oak. Sour funky flavor with oak, lemon, lots of wine, grapes, and a bit of cognac. Medium-bodied, slightly alcoholic. Very good, interesting and unique.

75CL Bottle split 4 ways
A - Very dark golden orange color. A nice 2 finger head at first but faded fast
S - The nose is very interesting. Very grape forward. Almost wine like with a distinct mold aroma. A little funk almost no other Classic cantillon traits.
T - Good rich bubbly mouthfeel that’s dense and pretty remarkable. Sour is intense but manageable. The rotten grape taste is unique and actually pretty darn special. A lot to say but not much time.
M - Intense and thick due to higher gravity from grapes. Walnut and tree nuts and musty old cheese.
O - I found this beer to be so unique and special and deserving of the hype. The cost to taste value is impossible to compare but it is a world class Lambic.

Bottle at Akkurat. Clear yellow pour with a white head. Funk with sweet vinous aromas. Absolutely delicious. Huge sweetness from the grapes with sour vinous undercurrents. So complex with oak, funk, wet hay, and muted citrus undercurrents. Fantastic mouthfeel and body. This just about pure perfection.

750mL bottle at Akkurat, pours a hazy golden with a small white head. Nose is bizarre, unlikely anything I've encountered before, with weird bacterial notes, wet horse blanket, stale grape skins, and some dirty earthiness. Flavour is just as fucked up, with notes of uber dry white wine, bizarre bacterial notes, wet dog, and sand paper. Very dry, with a medium tartness and medium acidity. Very strange. Not really that enjoyable overall -- I appreciate the complexities, but don't feel the flavours are that desirable or pleasant. Not one of the better rare Cantillons.

Bottle at Akkurat. Hazy, light orange liquid with small to medium white head. Aroma of funk (barnyard, sweat), some light sulfur, lemons and white grapes. Taste is dry and medium to high sour with notes of white wine and some cognac. Medium bodied with light to medium carbonation. Nice beer, very complex and funky. The sulphur brings the score down a bit, though it mellowed out as the beer warmed up.
